Builder's experience with iBuild nothing short of positive

Ryan Cooper from Hawkesbury River Home Builders has praised the iBuild team for its outstanding work in the construction of a kit home in the Hawkesbury River Area, NSW.

When Ryan was first asked to erect an iBuild kit home for one of his customers he was very sceptical.

However, the established builder’s experience with iBuild has been nothing short of positive.

“As an established custom home builder of nearly 30 years, I was sceptical of the product and service that we may receive from a kit home company,” Ryan said.

“However, the level of service provided by Project Manager Peter Kiraly at iBuild was exceptional. As a business we can’t afford to have supplier delays, and I can honestly say that the speed of product delivery and level of service provided by Pete at iBuild was great."

"I would be happy to work with iBuild again anytime in the future.” - Ryan Cooper

Our work with the Hawkesbury River Home Builders team shows that our builder contractors are extremely satisfied with the timely delivery and ongoing support that follows our sales process. We try our utmost best to ensure we provide exceptional customer service and satisfaction. iBuild is entrusted by builders because we make ourselves available for any questions and issues.

We thank Ryan for entrusting us and we look forward to working with him and other builders in the future.

“It is obvious that interns add value to any business. But it is a two-way street. You have to provide them with meaningful work so they gain extra skills that prepare them for the workforce.”

The company’s internship program began in 2016 and placements are now offered to students from a variety of fields including engineering, business, finance, marketing and Information Technology. Managing Director of iBuild Dr Jackson Yin said interns gain valuable real-world experience from the placement and apply their unique skills, capabilities and enthusiasm to the role.

Following the end of their placements, some interns have been fortunate enough to be offered permanent positions. Jayden Savannah completed his marketing internship in 2017 before recently being promoted as a Marketing Project Manager. Jayden now supervises as many as 10 interns a semester, developing his own leadership and mentoring skills in the process.

“While it may sound onerous, it isn’t. I’ve created a program so that the students are all set and ready to go within one week,” he said.

“A majority of the interns are in their final year of study and bring really valuable skills and attributes to the job.”

Holmesglen student Helen Ly was one of iBuild’s most recent interns where she gained practical, real-world skills.

“I really liked the placement at iBuild. I was assigned to conduct inshore and offshore market research to look for potential markets as well as increase our target audience in the residential, commercial and government sectors,” she said.

“This real business experience, combined with my marketing knowledge and sales skills, will greatly assist me in finding the part-time job I’m looking for as an administrative or marketing assistant.”
